Is Brent Oil Ready To Go For A Higher High? Looking at the short-term technical picture of EASYMARKETS:BRTUSD on our 4-hour chart, we can see that the price is approaching a key resistance area, around the 81.50 hurdle, which is marked near the highest point of December 2023. At the same time, the price remains well above a short-term upside support line drawn from the lowest point of December. Although everything is pointing towards a move higher in the near term, we would still prefer to wait for a break above that 81.50 zone, in order to get comfortable with examining higher areas.
If that break happens, this will confirm a forthcoming higher high, potentially attracting even more bulls into the field. This could set the stage for EASYMARKETS:BRTUSD to move towards its next key resistance barrier, at around 84.60. That barrier marks the high of November 30th. That level also acted as a good area of support on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of November.
Alternatively, to consider lower areas, a break of the aforementioned upside line would be needed. Additionally, a price-drop below the 77.82 hurdle, marked by the current lowest point of this week, could open the gateway for more bears to come through. EASYMARKETS:BRTUSD may then slide to the 76.55 obstacle, a break of which might clear the path towards the 75.26 level, which is the low of January 8th.
